I Found 8 Profitable To Play Scratchers
Can't post links yet because I'm a new account but I thought I'd share the results of my research here. I've been messing around with some AI coding and I built a site that automatically imports scratcher data from 25 states and then does an expected value calculation on each ticket. As some of you serious scratchers know, as tickets get sold and jackpots aren't claimed your odds of winning go up and they can actually get to the point where they're mathematically profitable to play on av

DC 5 Lottery needs to be audited immediately. The same thing that happened to Tennessee in 2007
This was bought to my attention from jimjwright regarding my prior post of DC Pick 5 1-200 million odds As of right now Dc 5 has played all single digits 36 times in a row. Not 1 duplicate digit has been played in the 36 draws. Duplicate digits make up roughly 70% of the numbers. Mathematically this is impossible and seems to be what happened to pick 3 and Pick 4 in Tennessee in 2007 Tenn. Lottery audit: players spent $2 million on worthless tickets $2M in tickets un

US Powerball multi-state lottery game expanding to the UKReply
I love this - was looking forward to it. Change is good - keeps things interesting. I think it should spread to Australia, Canada and Europe as well. I like that they will keep the ticket cost at $2 in the US. Hope for an increase in the jackpot reset amount. I would have liked if they scrapped the taxes on the US side of things if the game won't be taxed on the UK side. I hope that on the UK side the annuity does not get affected by the death of a jackpot winner since th
